I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very good. It was kind of bland.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of ground beef. It turned out really well.

I'm not a big fan of phyllo dough, so I used puff pastry instead. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
